Forecasts

I Believe In You (7/2), Ahlan Bil Emarati (7/2), Call Him Al (4/1), Smoki Smoka (7/1), You Never Can Tell (8/1), Prince Elzaam (12/1), Hafeet Alain (14/1), Coco Motion (25/1), Magic Groove (33/1), One To Go (40/1), Wontgetfooledagen (40/1), Our Secret (100/1)

CALL HIM AL represents a stable with an 18% strike-rate (12/68) with their juveniles on turf this season and he can make a winning debut in this opening contest. Their is plenty of speed in the selections pedigree and he can get the better of Ahlan Bil Emarati who has placed on both starts so far and should appreciate this step up in trip. Prince Elzaam represents a useful yard and he can finish third on debut.
